I know it's WAY past Friday but this is such a fun topic.  My first computer 
was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, running at a blazing 3 MHz with 16 kb of 
RAM.  I learned the TI BASIC manual frontwards and backwards and eventually 
wrote programs too big to run on so little memory (all games of course - I was 
a teenager after all).  They were saved onto my brother's old tape recorder 
with the two of us putting just the right amount of pressure on the 
connecting cable jacks to make it work.

That led to QuickBASIC, VisualBASIC, and VB.Net, which I've used over the 
years for small work projects.  And while the frustration of a non-working 
program is painful, the reward of a complete, fully functioning program is 
intensely rewarding!
